One con to rule them all. (yah right)
One con to find them.
One con to geek them all.
And in fair Nerdom bind them.
At the...

The following is a list of Panels I will be serving on at Polaris SF convention this year.

With all due apologies to J.R.R. Tolkien In Southern Ontario there lived a writer who went to cons.
